Parachute Hard Open

Hard open following a Halloween skydive. Parachute deploys from the bag to full inflation in less than one-half second. Skydiver had wind knocked out of him and a mild concussion, but was able to recover and land the main parachute.

What have we learned? Medieval clothes & skydiving simply don't mix... Twas probeth thine own shirt's grommets did the deed, sire.

There's your problem mate - dressed like a stupid Viking or something! Best to go with Sponge Bob or other 'soft' costume! :)
